The Maze Lover

You wake up to hear the sound of whispering voices. You slowly begin to open your eyes and peek through the glare of the sun to see several silhouettes crouching above you.
"We've got a new greenie" calls a dark haired boy, as he jumps down into the box.
"And it's a girl" whispers a tall blonde messy haired boy.
"She's pretty" remarks a much younger chubby looking boy.
You begin to sit up, a thousand questions drifting through your mind- where am I? Who are these people? Who even am I?- you begin to feel light headed and queasy when the darkness once again takes possession of you.

You wake up inside of a small room on a hard straw bed. You hear the sound of distressed, whispered voices drifting in from behind the wooden door. Unaware of what is going on and afraid for your safety you escape through the open window and sprint across into the nearby woods. You take shelter under one of the larger trees and try to take in what is happening. A twig snaps behind you and you spin around to see an unfamiliar boy approaching you.
"You really are pretty! We don't get many girls in the glade, in fact you're the second one in three years"
You warn him to stay away, but he continues to advance towards you, a lustful hunger in his eyes.
"It's okay greenie, I'll be gentle with you I promise."
You discreetly pick up a large rock from behind you and stand up, ensuring you keep it hidden, a sense of adrenaline suddenly beginning to kick in. You wait for the boy to walk closer to you until he is in a near enough range and you hit the rock over the side of his head. He grips his head in pain "what the fuck you stupid bitch!" He runs towards you, anger infused on his face and tries to push you down, but a strong hand grabs ahold of your waist and the other grips your elbow, helping you to keep your balance and stay upright. It was the blonde boy from outside of the elevator "you alright love?"
The dark haired boy finally makes his way to the scene and heads straight to the boy who attacked you "what are you playing at Ben? Leave the girl alone, you'll be put into the slammer for this!"

The blonde haired boy leads you back to the centre of the glade and sits you down on one of the tables "Are you okay? I'm sorry about him, he will be punished for that....I'm Newt by the way...."
"I'm....ermmm"
"Its's okay If you can't remember your name right away, no one ever does, it will come back to you in a day or two"
"And all my other memories?"
"I'm afraid not, the only thing we can remember once we are put in the glade is our names, it's the same for everyone"

After a long day of Newt showing you around the glade and introducing you to the leader, Alby, you head towards the bonfire where all the others are gathered.
Whilst you were being shown to your room, which you share with the only other girl in the glade, Teresa, the med jacks realised that Ben, the boy that had earlier attacked you, was stung by a griever.
Newt explained to you that a griever is a creature that lives within the maze and only comes out at night, hence why the entrance to the maze closes at the same time every night- to keep them out and everyone within the glade in.
Because of the sting, Ben had become unhinged from the infection and had attacked another glader, causing them to banish him into the maze, preventing him from causing harm to anyone else.

Newt calls you over to where he is sitting with a group of gladers, the dark haired boy is there who turns out to be Thomas- Newts best friend, along with two other boys- Chuck and Minho and your new room mate Teresa.
Newt slides over to sit closer to you, his leg gently resting against you under the table. He hands you a weird looking drink "here Y/N drink this, it's Gallys secret concoction, he only makes it when we get a new greenie"
You take the drink and have a small sip, it's refreshing but has a strong taste that causes you to cough and makes your head go fuzzy.
The boys laugh "you'll get used to it after a while and then you'll be craving it" Newt gives you a cute side smile and it makes your stomach flutter.

Everyone at the table starts joking around, using phrases and words you don't understand, so you take the time to glance around at the rest of the gladers. There are several little groups gathered around the table and a few of them are dancing around the fire, but your attention is brought to the large circle of gladers gathering around, calling out to whatever was happening in the centre.
Newt notices you staring "they're watching two of the gladers fight, it's an annual thing, you can challenge whichever glader you wish and settle any scores with them"
"Have you settled any scores?" I tease.
"Not yet but I wanted to after what Ben did to you... but of course now..." There was an awkward silence between you, until Newt continues to speak "I just feel like it's my duty...I'm not sure why... I just feel protective of you"
Your heart begins to beat faster and you feel like you're connected to Newt in some strange way, as if he is special and different compared to anyone else, even before you had entered the glade.
